he is on medicare. on medicare he is cutting $716 billion from the program. he says by not overpaying hospitals and providers, actually going to them and saying everybody is going to get a lower rate. that's saying we're cutting the rates. some 15% of hospitals and nursing homes say they won't make any more medicare patients under that scenario. and we have 50% of doctors who say they won't take anymore medicare patients. we have 4 million people on medicare advantage that will lose it because of those $716 billion in cuts. i can't understand how you can cut medicare $716 million for current recipients of medicare. you point out we're putting come back we'll give a better prescription program. that's $1 for every 15 you have cut. i want to take that $716 billion that you have cut, and put it back into medicare. the idea of cutting $716 billion from medicare to be able to balance the additional cost of obamacare is in my opinion a mistake. with regards to young people coming along, i have proposals to make sure the young people are covered. >> president obama?

>> he would, in effect, turn medicare into a voucher program. the president touched on it but did not stay with it, allowed romney to get away with it. the voucher program would cause people to have to then take a chunk of change, credit from the government, and go out and buy their own insurance. but only a limited amount of money would be available. if the costs go up, the people that get that, would have to pay the difference. the guarantee would be gone. that is the substance of how they would deal with medicare, and that is the way it will be. the president did not make the case as effectively as he should have on that. >> that is factually wrong. let me just say, that is completely, factually wrong. under the romney plan, the amount of money the government will give you will be equal to the amount of the second lowest bid, meaning you can then get that plan for nothing, or a cheaper plan -- there will be one plan cheaper -- and keep the extra money for your pocket. so you will have a choice with no expenditure on your part of at least two

the sharpest contrast was on medicare. though romney did try to blur the lines. >> neither the president nor i are proposing any changes for any current retirees or near retirees, either to social security or medicare. so if you're 60 or older, don't need to listen any further. >> you would turn medicare into a voucher program. it's called premium support. it's understood to be a voucher program. >> and you don't support that? >> i don't. and let me explain why. >> again, that's for future people. not for current retirees. >> i dunce. so if you're 54 or 55. you might want to listen. >> that might have been the president's strongest rejoiner of the night. romney seemed to control many of the backs and forths, even the lighter moments. >> i'll get rid of it. obama care is on my list. i use that term with all respect. >> i like it. >> the difference in the debate demeanor is most evident at the end during the closing statements. >> you know, four years ago we were going through a major crisis. and yet my faith and confidence
